I had the dreaded left AF problem as well as overall soft image problems.

I took the camera to Anderson Camera Repair, the authorised Nikon service centre in Brisbane, Queensland, & spoke to Mark. He said that they were well aware of the problem. He went on to say that they had a software & hardware fix. The hardware fix was an adjustment of the pitch & yaw of the AF block as well as recalibration of the AF points.

I received the camera back in less than 48 hrs, ran a series of AF target test shots & found the AF PERFECT! To say I'm impressed would be an understatement.
